Well, it didn't seem like such a bad deal after all. Although he tried to diffuse the slight tension that was happening, it seemed to pass by them as they heard what the man had to say. Shipments were getting lost, and he wanted to find out why. He wasn't scared of whatever was taking them, that's what his swords were for. The problem was, trying to find where the shipments had run off too. He was born in a place filled with forests, and these ones looked similar, so he probably wouldn't have a problem getting through them, especially with the trail. But he would have to know where they were ambushed, so he could get an idea of where they were. Or even better... What if they ambushed the bandits instead? 

[color=cyan]"Alright, it seems like we're all going to help you on this. We would need directions to the forest, and a map would be helpful. If you know where, at least roughly, they were ambushed that would help as well. Anything you can think of that might help. But if you happened to have a shipment, or at the very least, a wagon with minimal goods in it... A closed wagon would be nice. It would help us greatly. We can lure out whatever is taking your shipments, instead of chasing them down. Three of us will hide in the wagon, and only one of us leading the wagon. As soon as the bandits show up, we jump out and surprise them."[/color] Tetras explained, pounding his fist on his hand for emphasis.

[color=cyan]"I'm sure if you gave us that, it would be much more useful than just scouring the entirety of the forest."[/color]
